About Us
Our Vision
The aim of the Global South Center is to create strong links among scholars, activists, and artists, and, to facilitate learning, exchange and action with those working for social and political transformation. Located in New York City and Brooklyn, and linked with people, communities, and struggles across the Global North and South, we engage in projects that deepen our connections to each other. These links promote interdisciplinary research and experiment with alternative world-making practices.
We support living systems, and, we richly critique and carefully work against the devastating effects of racial and extractive capitalism. Our research, projects and events aim to understand the forces that maintain exploitative conditions, lifting up those social, artistic, and ecological formations that differently inhabit the planet to imagine possibilities of peaceful and equitable co-existence.
